Delhi police are set to file a chargesheet within a week in the case of a 16-year-old girl's alleged gang-rape and murder in Swaroop Nagar, as reported by Hindustan Times. The investigation has led to the arrest of a 19-year-old man and three juveniles, aged 16 and 17. Police are seeking to have the juveniles tried as adults due to the heinous nature of the alleged offense.
The body of the young girl, found decomposed and mutilated on September 13, is believed to have been stabbed multiple times after a sexual assault, according to police. Investigators have recovered documents to establish the juveniles' ages and are considering bone ossification tests. CCTV footage and a suspicious vehicle helped trace the four suspects, leading to their arrest during an operation around September 15-16.
The case is being investigated under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
